James Shield

Aidy White has joined Sheffield United on loan, officials at Bramall Lane have confirmed.

The Leeds defender, who can also operate in midfield, is poised to make his debut for Nigel Clough’s side against Shrewsbury Town this weekend after the two clubs signed an agreement which lasts until January 1.

Clough told United’s official website: “We have a heavy programme ahead, especially with the FA Cup, and someone like Aidy will give us another option and that bit of extra quality.”
